  I have never heard this word (rahul'stvo) before but
after the short investigation can assume that it is
derived from Lviv dialect word "rahul'". According to 
Ukrainian sites in the Internet "rahul" means not very
educated, uncouth, unintellectual person. Very often
people from the country are called in such way.
   Hope it will help. Thank you for new words in my
dictionary.

        With all the best, 
                          Nadiya.
